android-theme

I am using the Android Support Library v4 and v7 to get Fragments, Swipe-able View Pagers, and even ActionBar! It works and the graphics are really nice! However while the graphics for the above look nice and consistent in Android 2.x and Android 4.x, some common widgets look very different between versions. This leads to colours mismatch inside the app with an otherwise consistent look UI - so no matter what I draw in the rest of the UI, either the yellow SeekBar or blue SeekBar won't match something. I thought the whole point of the support library is to get a consistent UI across platforms,

Our app relies on AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES) to make us pick up Light and Dark theme colors from values/colors and values-night/colors But every time we try to use the WebView , it starts by resetting the UiMode and our app gets confused which color values to pick for our themes Some people discussed the issue in detail here and here Anyone out there run into a similar issue? Answering my own question, looks like Google fixed the issue https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37124582 with https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases

<style name="CustomTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"> I made my own theme and added a reference to it in my manifest. Everything looks perfect (buttons, textboxes etc) except for the checkboxes in my custom list. android:checkMark="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple" The checkbox in my listitem is the default checkbox from Theme.Holo and I can't figure out why. Grateful for any help! I am having the same problem. I have no idea why it isn't choosing the correct checkbox - you can barely see it on the light background. For now, I copied the appropriate holo light checkbox

I've followed the great answer for this question to make the SearchView widget in my ActionBar fit a custom theme. It works just fine for portrait mode, but in landscape the OS will shrink the height of the ActionBar to maximize content screen estate. Instead of fitting the SearchView widget without margins into the ActionBar just like the other items, it is chopped off at the top: I've dug through the res-folder of the Android source, but could not find any specialized layouts or resources that would make obvious how to fix this or even how Android itself manages to fit the default Holo

I would like to change the NumberPicker theme, instead of the three value theme (eg: value 10): 9 10 11 I would like to have the plus and the minus button and the numer 10 in the middle. I read this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/NumberPicker.html I should change only the theme, to obtain what I wish. But how? I can't set the theme in my fragment: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@drawable/gradient
